Created with Daru Jones's aesthetic and approach in mind, this model targets drummers who want an instrument as visually distinctive as it is effective in performance. Within the range, it is positioned as a modern, portable shell pack with dimension and hardware choices focused on performance and personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum Kit Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drum kit is aimed at beginner to intermediate drummers seeking an inspiring kit that is easy to transport and capable of standing out both on stage and in the studio. Its format is ideal if you often play in tight spaces, frequently set up and break down your kit, or want a more manageable bass drum while maintaining a strong sonic presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of styles, the configuration and shell response are especially suited to genres where precision and groove are central: pop, indie, funk, hip-hop, neo-soul, RnB, modern jazz, electro-acoustic. With tighter tuning and appropriate heads, the kit can also be oriented towards sharper, more articulate sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pack emphasizes reliability and ergonomics. The \u003cstrong\u003eDW MAG trigger\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a smooth feel and a crisp snare lock, convenient for quick live adjustments. The \u003cstrong\u003eTrue Pitch tension rods\u003c\/strong\u003e promote stable and precise tuning, useful when seeking fine adjustments on smaller diameter shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit comes with \u003cstrong\u003eRemo heads\u003c\/strong\u003e, a reassuring choice for quickly achieving a usable sound, whether you want a sharp attack or more roundness. Finally, the inclusion of a \u003cstrong\u003ebass drum riser\u003c\/strong\u003e is a real plus on an 18-inch bass drum: it helps position the pedal beater in a more optimal area of the head, for more consistent rebound and a stronger stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core sound of this shell pack comes from its \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid poplar and maple shells\u003c\/strong\u003e. Maple is valued for its warmth, richness in the midrange, and ability to remain musical at various tunings. Poplar, more direct, adds a punchy character and quick response, with an attack that stands out easily in the mix. Together, this duo delivers a balanced sound: round yet present, controlled yet lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecompact dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e steer the signature towards definition and responsiveness. The 18 x 11 bass drum favors a quick attack and clear low end, particularly effective in amplified or mic'd contexts. The 13 x 6 snare offers a snappy feel, with precise crack and good harmonic control depending on tuning and snare tension. The short-format toms encourage immediate response and clear articulation, ideal for detailed groove patterns, audible ghost notes, and clean fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, you can aim for two simple directions: medium tuning with slight dampening for a modern, punchy sound, or a more open tuning to exploit natural resonance and projection. The lacquer finish also contributes to a livelier feel, maintaining a bright and energetic tone, appreciated on kits with a strong stage presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PDP By DW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359209083155,"sku":"377198","price":1153.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0ba1e50e0972e873c8d62f0797c367f2a1db3046_101338.jpg?v=1787293173","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/pdp-by-dw-shell-set-new-yorker-daru-jones-signature-blue-fade-pddj1804bf-377198","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
